STATINES IN PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS CONNECTED DISEASES: EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY

https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2005-1-2-48-53

Abstract

Results of large-scale studies carried out during last 10 years and devoted to the assessment of statines efficiency in prevention of ischemic heart disease (IHD), are analyzed. Decrease in risks of myocardial infarction, instable angina pectoris and mortality by 25-40%, ischemic stroke – by 25-30% (CARE, LIPID, WOSCOPS, AFCAPS/TexCAPS, HPS, ASCOT-LLA, CARDS) is demonstrated. Recommendations for statines prescription for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, including IHD and ischemic stroke, are significantly expanded. New goals in holesterol of low density lipoproteid (HLDL) reduction are discussed, aswell as problems of statin treatment safety. The choice of the drug must be based on clinical research data, considering efficiency and safety at long-term use, as well as possibilities of achieving new goal level of HLDL.
